.nouph. Collins was in favor OF the bill

gentleman from Meagher and Fergus knew
the tax. as regulated in the bill OF last
xinter was not enough. r'o President
oneationed whether it was IN ndatory on
the County Commissioners TO levy the
whole tax or whether they could use their

tleman from Choteau overdrew the

protection, let them get together and make
an approprlation for it. Pardee thought
the law of nuisance sufficient to protect
